I’d like to thank you for the article about me and my agency that appeared close to two years ago (April 2017, Agency Sales), which detailed how several of the manufacturers that I work with came to my aid during a lengthy illness. In addition to assisting me during a very difficult time, those same companies (Best Carbide, AB Tools, Inc., Vermont Indexable, Johnson Carbide, Wendt-USA, EZ Burr and Alvord-Polk) assisted me in the development of a product that was created during my rehabilitation. As the product reached completion, it’s interesting that in a strange turn of events, I was not only those manufacturers’ independent representative, but also became one of their customers.

Once again, thank you for the coverage and I’m glad to say I’m still working closely with those manufacturers. Sometimes things really come together to the benefit of everyone.
